This isn't new news.

It's all in the book, Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson, Chapter 36 - The iPhone

Corning made Gorilla Glass years ago but they never had a product for it to go in. Steve Jobs found out about it around 2006 and decided to use it for the iPhone.

We've known about this since October last year when the book was published.

It's obvious. They kept it a secret, so they could once more claim they've done something they haven't done.
